The Issues
As your Congressman, I'll pay attention to what
I hear from Noncoms in uniform - not the brass hats in the Pentagon.
Top military officers are out of touch with our young men and
women in the field. The Pentagon is fighting the War on Terror
with a Cold War mentality - that is, sinking too much of the Federal
Budget into high tech gadgetry when it should be listening to
the noncoms regarding what we really need to win the War on Terror.
The Pentagon continues to throw away billions of dollars of the
taxpayers' money.
Here's my plan. To keep our Armed Forces at peak strength, our
men and women in uniform should get better pay, better housing,
better training, and better health care for themselves and their
families.
And while I'm on the subject, the officers who lead our men and
women into combat in the 21st Century need better training. They
have to get rid of the Cold War mentality that continues to permeate
at the top levels of our Officers' Corps.
